EDalcin Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Hi Folks, I'm wondering if is possible to install the same Application twice, using different {ports, paths, configs}. I'm using the "Community Applications" and there is no option of "Install". Just "Reinstall". How to do it? Is it possible? Thanks in advance Eduardo Edited November 21, 2018 by EDalcin Quote Link to comment
plantsandbinary Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Why would you want to do this? There's a specific way to configure a container if you want to run it like there would be two instances of it. However it's better to run just one with a custom config. What's your use case?

Thanks in advance Eduardo Yes, you can do this but during the install you need to give at least one it a new name (as well as different config options). I do it with two MyMediaForAlexa containers because I want one to handle Music and the other AudioBooks. 1 Quote Link to comment
tjb_altf4 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) There are many perfectly good reasons to run multiple of the same dockers, and that is part of the great flexibility Docker affords us. I have had to duplicate a docker recently for a mariadb docker because one application I'm installing only works with a older maridb versions. This is how I set it up only recently, the instance you create below is your new instance.

Many cases. For example, have two different game servers (McMyAdmin app) at the same machine. 1 Quote Link to comment
tony8211 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm not finding the "reinstall using defaults" icon on the Apps->Installed apps page. What am I missing. Quote Link to comment

tony8211 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Assuming it has been removed, then i guess the only option is to manually setup the extra docker instance? Quote Link to comment
tony8211 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Nevermind. i figured it out. In the Apps screen just click "add container" and point to the same repository for the app you want to duplicate, then follow tjb_altf4's instructions above. Quote Link to comment

The option now needs to be enabled in CA settings to be visible, however using the "Add container" button on the docker screen is actually an easier method (that I later discovered).

vanrhyn Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Can I have two copied of a docker container (SABNZB)? On one I was thinking of downloading to RAM (only one file at a time) and the other to the array if i am downloading more than one file (which would cause the RAM to fill up)? If possible could a person just shutdown one docker, abd then start up the other docker? All I could think of is just having each docker with a different name Rod Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Yeah, Apps - Settings - Enable install 2nd Instance Apps - Installed Apps, Sabnzbd - Actions - Install 2nd Instance 1 1 Quote Link to comment
